A solution to a $5B problem to be unveiled at CES 2025: it involves selfies

A selfie may now determine if a company’s transactions are going to the right hands.

Inkan.link, a European deep tech company, has announced its latest solution to ensure business transaction security.

The company reports that the Business Email Compromise (BEC) “crisis” costs businesses $5 billion every year.

For this reason, Inkan.link created “Sealfie,” a new feature that “provides daily protection against presidential fraud, fake suppliers, and identity theft.”

With fraudsters increasingly using AI to impersonate CEOs and other high-ranking executives to circumvent security checks, Sealfie blocks them by simply asking a person for a selfie.

“[...] If your CEO won't take a selfie to approve a major transaction, they're probably an impostor,” explained Nicolas Thomas, the founder of Inkan.link.

Sealfie is available on the Google and Apple app stores and requires a €95/month per user subscription.

In collaboration with ShareID, the Paris-based cybersecurity company is expected to reveal more about its latest security solution at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, the annual trade show in Las Vegas, held by the Consumer Technology Association.
